Borussia Dortmund missed the opportunity to move five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga as they were held 0-0 away at bottom side Nürnberg.
Dortmund dominated the opening exchanges but failed to create anything of note inside the opening quarter of an hour, remaining patient in possession but often struggling to find the key final pass to unlock a resilient Nürnberg defence.
BVB eventually created a goal-scoring opportunity after 33 minutes with Jadon Sancho at the heart of the attack. The youngster's mazy run into the box was halted by a defender with the ball falling into Mario Gotze's path, but the German's double effort was matched by Christian Mathenia in goal, who did superbly to keep the scores level.
